I find the coma level very good in F2.8.
Thanks for sharing your test.

Thank you. A lot of light pollution where I live. Had to drive 3 hours for a dark site. Test photos not scientific (I am not a scientist) but they were all taken same time same location with the same variables except for white balance. Left it on auto white balance by accident. Still undecided if I am going to keep this lens.But then again, it is such a beautiful piece of kit!

Thanks! Here I did a more detailed comparison with the EF14/2.8II at several apertures: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59871149

What do your surmise? Is coma good or not so good. The photos look pretty good to me.

I have decided to keep this lens. Coma is more than acceptable to me. Driving a thousand miles on the 17th just to go and play with this lens in the Richtersveld National Park. There will be a new moon and dark skies with an abundant photo opportunities, both landscape and astro.

I'm looking forward to a few more formal reviews. (Hoping for one from Dustin!)

Have you used this for any landscapes or photojournalistic style shots? Any info about use for general use would be very much appreciated.
